Overheat thermostat tripping early, Faulty control board timing, Intermittent power connection, Clogged internal water path causing overheat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before further testing.

  • Descale the unit: Run a full descaling cycle with a 1:1 vinegar and water solution to remove scale that can cause localized overheating.
  • Check power stability: Plug directly into a wall outlet, avoiding power strips. Loose plugs can cause intermittent shutoff.
  • Observe behavior: Note if the unit always stops at the same point (e.g., after a few minutes). This can indicate a thermostat or control board issue.
  • Component testing (advanced): Inspect and test the thermostat and thermal fuse. Replace any that are out of spec or show signs of heat damage.
